Answer 1

Only males have a s*x comb, a fringe of black bristles on the forelegs.

The tip of the abdomen is elongate and somewhat pointed in females and more rounded in males.

The abdomen of the female has seven segments, whereas that of the male has only five segments.

See Figure 1. The regulatory hierarchy controlling somatic sexual differences in Drosophila melanogaster

and Figure 2. s*x-specific splicing patterns of pre-mRNAs from s*x determination regulatory genes
